Sunrise Marathon 5K/10K/13.1 NEW JERSEY

Sunrise Marathon 5K/10K/13.1 NEW JERSEY is staged in Camden, New Jersey, on December 12, 2026. The half marathon (13.1 miles), the 10K, the 5K and a one-mile family fun run all start at 7:30 a.m. for a sunrise start on a scenic course, with optional timing, a performance race shirt, a finisher medal and a digital training pack for entrants.

For a first half marathon, this format has a lot going for it: a road course, an early start, and shorter distances on the same morning so nothing feels like an all-or-nothing entry. Give yourself twelve to sixteen weeks, run four times a week, and let one of those runs grow by a mile or so every second week until you reach 10 or 11. Practise drinking on the move during those long runs, then start the race slower than feels right.
